ELLE Goes Behind The Scenes At Roland Garros With Lacoste

Two nights in Paris...

Team ELLE took a hop, skip and a jump over to Paris for a whistle-stop tour of all things tennis for the launch of Lacoste footwear's AW15 collection. From watching the action on centre court, to breaking in our Lacoste straightset trainers on a (much) smaller court, we did it all. But don't worry, we won't be giving up our day jobs just yet...

A very preppy blazer, with Lacoste's signature croc. We'd wear it over a rollneck and jeans...

From the classic, to the modern. Lacoste's straighset trainers - we'll take a pair in each colour, thanks.

They might not be the most aerodynamic, but these vintage rackets make us want to give it a go...

So we do. Game, set, and match - to the other guy. Beginner's (bad) luck? At least we looked the part...
